In our latest tutorial we show how MLatom can be used to simulate UV/vis spectra via single-point convolution and nuclear-ensemble approach (NEA). ML can also be used to increase precision of the NEA spectra at reduced cost. You can watch the detailed introduction and demonstration in the video. All …

Theoretical IR (infrared) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for assisting chemical structure identification. However, approaches based on quantum chemical calculations suffer from either high computational cost (e.g., density functional theory, DFT) or insufficient accuracy (semi-empirical methods).  Hence, we introduce a new …

Density functional theory (DFT) methods are by far the most popular approaches for electronic structure calculations. However, the “best” functional remains elusive despite the increasing variety of functionals and continuous efforts to improve their computational accuracy.  In our work published in Advanced …

Quasi-classical molecular dynamics (also known as quasi-classical trajectories (QCT)) accounts for the zero-point energy (ZPE) in contrast to classical dynamics and is very popular in studying chemical reactions (see, e.g., works by Houk et al. in PNAS 2012, 109, 12860 and J. Am. …
